I decided to stitch a feather flower in the squares and then diagonal lines in the background. This picture is true to life scale. The squares are just a little under two inches.
Here it is all done on the fresh snow that fell while I was creating it!

Your quilt is so pretty and I love the 2" squares with their quilted detail!
ReplyDeleteCute and modern! Do you like string quilts now?
ReplyDeleteWoW Suzy, I love this design. I might recommend a lightweight tearaway stabilizer and I mean the cheap kind... for me that works best, although I have been known to also use a water soluble stabilizer, thus it washes out when you do tie first washing of the quilt project. Other backings tho.. my favorite is paper used in doctors offices, it's like newspaper print, but lighter... but newspaper print also works well. Newspapers will usually sell there end rolls for pretty cheap. Either or, I love your project, very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteVery and pretty and a modern look.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I like the negative space--makes the rest pop. I didn't use anything behind my strings when I stitched them--I was probably supposed to, but I didn't, and it worked out just fine. I guess everyone has a preferred method. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see some modern takes on string quilts.

ReplyDeleteThe use of black in contrast is so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful. I love phone book pages for piecing. Someone shared a great secret with me...just stitch thru the paper one time then as you add your strings fold the paper out of the way. Only 1 seam to rip paper from then. It works like a charm.
ReplyDeleteLovely little project proving it doesn't take a lot of strings to make a pretty project.
ReplyDeleteGreat project, thanks so much for sharing!
